I made the Atkins chocolate macaroons last night. Not bad, it had a chew to
it, but I feel very guilty this morning.

It took 24 splenda packets to make this and I usually only use 2 a day. I
know coconut, egg whites, unsweetened cocoa are very low in carbs, but I
can't handle having "low carb" sweets around. These were only net 2 carbs
per small cookie- and I rationalized till I talked myself into 2 more.

I keep thinking " these are low carb- not that bad, even though I've eaten
my carb limit for the day. I grabbed 2 extra cookies last night. A high carb
chocolate cake has been in the kitchen for a few days-I know not to mess
with it, but these are teasers.  Even 4 tiny cheesecakes were too much. This
is definitely one of my triggers to downfall.

Recipes are fair, some look good, but I can modify my own just as well.
Atkins would have done better to have 2 versions of  a recipe. full size and
small recipe size
